The performance will be held on Tuesday, December 3, at 6:30 p.m. in HPU’s Mims Auditorium and is free of charge.

“‘Christmas at HPU’ continues to be one of my favorite concerts of the year,” said Dr. Chris Rosborough, associate professor of music, director of choral activities and chair of the Department of Music. “It’s a time when our entire department and many from our community come together to celebrate the start of the Christmas season.” 

The public is invited to attend the concert and stay on campus for refreshments and the Christmas on the Plaza campus lighting ceremony at 7:30 p.m. at the Mims pergola.

“This event is always a special one for us as we collaborate with fellow musicians from across the University and the greater Heart of Texas area to officially kick-off the Christmas season,” said Dr. Jon Kraemer, director of bands and assistant professor of music.
